THE LEGISLATURES.
The First Day of the Session "Opens Aus
picioWsly.

Yesterday was the opening day of the ses.
sion of the legislature, and Q A. NJ, found
the members thronging the halls and pre-
pared for business. Many visitors, and quite
a number of ladies enlivened the scene with
their presence in the Hall of Representatives
As is usually the case much interest was
developed in connection with the drawing of
the seats which was begun at 8 o'clock. The
younger members and those who contemplate
taking an active part, naturally desire to OBJ
tain favorable positions, and more or less
seats, inscribed on cards, were placed in a box
and each member drew a number which en-
titled him to the seat corresponding. The
courtesy of selecting the seat which he was
to occupy was rendered TO the veteran legis-
lator, John c Talbot of Machias. He chose
seat No. 2, which is at the front desk, north
row. Mr.. Looney secured position in the
same row four seats from the rear. In the
third row on the right and near the front,
were seated Messrs Joseph II. Manley Lewis
A. Barker, S. J. Walton, and f. A. Powers
Adjacent in the next row Hon.
J. W. Wakefield will Sit and on his left Hon.
Fred Dow Of Portland. Mr.. Ira Randall
will be seated in the second row, five chairs
from the rear.
After the drawing, the session for business
opened, and the scenes of organization so
familiar to old legislators were re-enacted.
